The Beach Combing Artist of the Great Ocean Road

This coast is a beautiful but eery place with a long history of ship-wrecks. Brett spent a childhood here, combing the beach after storms, picking up the carcasses of birds that perished at sea. The bodies of Short-tailed Shearwaters, Little Penguins and even Shy Albatrosses can be quite commonly found. It's part of the reason why he went on to study marine wildlife, spending many years on ships, painting and illustrating books like The Complete Guide to Antarctic Wildlife.
